Hint Command

Displays a message box intended to be used to provide hints to the user. The box contains a check box allowing the user to choose not to receive such hints again. 

Hint [/help help-context] [/id id] [/icon info|warn|error|question] message

Parameters

/help

If specified, the box will show a help button which will display the help topic specified by help-context . This is used in some internal scripts but has limited user application.

/icon

Controls the icon displayed in the hint box. This may be one of:
info An icon showing the letter 'i' indicating that this message is for information only. This is the default.
warn An icon showing an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle indicating that the message is a warning
error An icon showing a cross in a red background indicating an error condition. This is usually inappropriate for a hint, but is included for completeness.
question An icon showing a question mark indicating a question. Currently the hint box is not interactive so the usefulness of this is limited.

/id

Identifier used to identify hint for the purposes of saving the redisplay status controlled by the "Don't show this message again" check box . If not supplied, a default will be used derived from the message text. This is satisfactory in most cases and there is rarely ever a need to use this switch.

message

Message to be displayed.
